Epigrams. The Second Booke. № 6. To one, whom poverty was to be wished for, in so farre, as he could hardly otherwise be restrained from excessive ryot, and feasting

That (as in former times) not being sustain'd,
Your fare, and dyet daily doe decrease;
For want doing what your modestie neglected:
It is a happy thing to be constrain'd
To that, which willingly you ought t'embrace.
